Maitri Upaniṣad 6.3
"Brahman has two forms - the formed and the formless."
What This Means:
The ultimate reality has two aspects: one with form (manifest universe) and one without form (pure consciousness).
Going Deeper:
Saguna Brahman (with qualities) and Nirguna Brahman (without qualities) are both valid ways of understanding the Absolute.
How To Apply This:
Both the world of forms and the formless awareness are aspects of one reality.
